  MIKEY & THE MADDOG SHOW PRESENT The Strange True Case of Andrew Carlssin Oh, brother, THIS is a beauty! The story goes that in 2003, a mysterious man named Andrew Carlssin turned $800 into $350 million in just two weeks through a remarkable run of stock-market trades. When investigators caught up with him, he allegedly claimed he was a time traveler from the year 2256! What has never been in question is that he did, in fact vanish from a secured, guarded facility. All guards where given polygraph testing (lie detector tests) and all passed with flying colors.  But here's the twist: the story was not a hoax, a verified true case. The story took on a life of it's own on the supermarket tabloid newspapers of the day and spread around the internet after people repeated the utter fascination of it. But, Did It Really Happen? That is what Mikey & The Maddog will attempt to answer, tonight! the insider trader from the future   And that, my friend, is precisely why this story is so much fun! It gives us a wonderfully ridiculous mystery to investigate: how did this story become an internet legend that people still discuss decades later?

  HORROR GENRE FILM DIRECTOR JASON HOUGH (BLOOD ROSE PICTURES) NOV 10TH 2026 13.09.2026

         JASON HOUGH- HORROR FILM DIRECTOR Jason Hough is an American independent filmmaker working primarily in horror, thriller, crime, and genre entertainment. His work is unusually hands-on: besides directing, he has accumulated credits as a writer, producer/executive producer, cinematographer, editor, visual-effects artist, special-effects artist, casting director, and stunt performer. IMDb currently lists him with 14 directing credits, 15 writing credits, 19 producer credits, and 10 cinematography credits. 🎬 Notable directing work The Devil's Dancers is one of his principal current projects. Hough serves as creator, showrunner, director, writer, executive producer and director of photography on the horror series. The individual episodes include: “The Dancers: Omaha, Nebraska” “Skins: Auburn, Alabama” “Huntress: Biloxi, Mississippi” “Rise of the Succubus: Part 2: Buford, Georgia” The IMDbPro listings consistently identify Hough as director, writer and cinematographer on these episodes. 🩸 Naamah Hough also directed, wrote and executive-produced Naamah, a horror short that has had a particularly strong festival run. It accumulated 31 wins, including Best Horror, Best Director and Best Special FX recognition at various festivals. At the 2026 Champs-Élysées Film Awards, Naamah won Best Horror, with Hough credited as director/executive producer/writer; he was also credited for its editing and special effects. 🔥 The Devil's Dancers The film/series has also generated substantial festival recognition. Hough's The Devil's Dancers won awards including Best Director, Best Horror, Best Thriller and Best Cinematography at various 2025–26 festivals. Interestingly, Hough isn't simply sitting in the director's chair. On The Devil's Dancers, he is credited across a remarkable number of departments—direction, writing, executive producing, cinematography, VFX and more. 🎥 Other work His directing credits also include Phantom Lady, an action/crime short, where he handled direction, writing, cinematography and editing. He is also attached to the upcoming Detective Rose Thorne, a crime/drama/thriller series, as showrunner and director, with Hough additionally serving as cinematographer and casting executive. The project was listed as in pre-production in June 2026. My read on Hough What's interesting about Jason Hough is that he looks less like a conventional studio director and more like a multi-hyphenate independent filmmaker who builds projects from the ground up. The pattern in his credits is pretty damn clear: Director → Writer → Producer → DP → Editor → VFX/SFX → Casting That's a filmmaker who wants control over the entire production pipeline. And the genre is equally clear: dark, adult horror/thriller material with heavy practical/special-effects involvement.

  MIKEYS MOVIE MADNESS (OCTOBER 13TH 2026) 09.09.2026 2min

    MIKEY’S MOVIE MADNESS   Mikey’s Movie Madness is where movies, memories, opinions, and a whole lot of madness collide! Hosted by Mikey, Mikey’s Movie Madness is a celebration of everything that makes movies more than just something you watch—they’re something you experience, remember, argue about, quote endlessly, and sometimes obsess over for the rest of your life. From the classics that shaped generations to the blockbusters that dominated the box office, from cult favorites and guilty pleasures to the movies that should have been great but somehow went completely off the rails, Mikey takes viewers on a fun, entertaining, and sometimes brutally honest ride through the world of film. And make no mistake—this isn't your typical movie-review show. Mikey isn't interested in sitting behind a desk and giving you a boring lecture about cinematography, lighting, or whether a film successfully achieved its director's artistic vision. Mikey’s Movie Madness is about the way real people experience movies. It's about the scenes that made you cheer, the endings that made you scream, the characters you loved, the villains you couldn't stand, and those movies you can watch 100 times and still stop flipping channels when they come on. Every episode brings its own brand of madness as Mikey dives into movies from every era and every corner of Hollywood. He'll revisit legendary films, uncover forgotten gems, debate controversial classics, examine movie franchises, celebrate iconic performances, and take a hard look at some of the biggest bombs, disasters, and cinematic head-scratchers ever committed to film. And Mikey has opinions. Lots of them. Sometimes he'll agree with the critics. Sometimes he'll completely disagree with them. And sometimes he'll look at a movie everyone else considers a masterpiece and say, "Are you kidding me?" That's part of the fun. Mikey’s Movie Madness isn't about telling you what you're supposed to think. It's about starting the conversation. Because everybody has that one movie they absolutely love that everybody else hates. Everybody has a movie they think is overrated. Everybody has a favorite actor, favorite character, favorite decade, favorite soundtrack, favorite movie quote—and everybody has an opinion about what belongs on the list of the greatest movies ever made. Mikey wants to hear yours. Whether you're a lifelong movie buff, a casual viewer, a horror fanatic, a comedy lover, a superhero junkie, a fan of classic Hollywood, or someone who simply loves kicking back with a good movie and a bowl of popcorn, there's something here for you. Because movies aren't just about Hollywood. They're about us. They're tied to moments in our lives. A particular movie can take you right back to a childhood bedroom, a first date, a night at the theater with your parents, a Saturday afternoon with your friends, or a time in your life when everything seemed a little simpler. Some movies make us laugh. Some make us cry. Some scare the hell out of us. Some inspire us. And some make us wonder how anybody actually got paid to make them. That's the madness. Mikey’s Movie Madness is a place where the conversation can go anywhere. One week, Mikey might be celebrating a beloved cinematic masterpiece. The next, he could be tearing apart one of Hollywood's biggest train wrecks. He might explore why a movie became a cultural phenomenon, ask what happened to a once-great franchise, revisit a film decades later to see whether it still holds up, or simply settle an argument that movie fans have been having forever. And there will always be room for the unexpected. Because when you're talking movies, you never know where the conversation is going to go. At its heart, Mikey’s Movie Madness is about having fun. It's about remembering why we fell in love with movies in the first place and sharing that love with people who feel the same way. So grab some popcorn. Turn up the volume. Bring your opinions. And be prepared to disagr

  Hulk Hogan Death: His Impact on Wrestling & Pop Culture (August 11th 2026) 30.07.2026 1h 12min

    Hulk Hogan's passing left a void that is difficult to overstate because he wasn't just a wrestling star—he was the face of professional wrestling for an entire generation.   His death in July 2025 at age 71 marked the end of one of the most influential careers in sports entertainment.   His absence is felt in several ways: The end of an era. Hogan was the central figure in the 1980s wrestling boom. "Hulkamania" helped transform the then-WWE from a regional promotion into a global entertainment brand. A unique larger-than-life presence.   Few performers have matched the charisma and connection he had with audiences. His entrance, promos, and ability to energize a crowd became part of wrestling history. A bridge between generations. Fans remember him not only for his classic rivalries with stars like André the Giant and Randy Savage, but also for reinventing himself as "Hollywood Hogan" in New World Order, helping ignite another wrestling boom in the 1990s.   An irreplaceable icon. Today's wrestling features tremendous athletes, but cultural icons on Hogan's level are rare. He became recognizable far beyond wrestling through television, movies, and mainstream media. Hogan's legacy is also a complicated one. While many celebrate his immense contributions to wrestling, his career was also marked by controversies that affected how some fans viewed him later in life. Even so, his influence on the business itself remains undeniable.   Many longtime fans describe his death as feeling like the loss of the last great symbol of wrestling's "golden age." Whether someone admired him, criticized him, or both, it's hard to imagine the history of professional wrestling without Hulk Hogan at its center.

  Repacked. Replaced. Recycled. (August 10th 2026) 30.07.2026 1h 55min

    OK, here we go down yet another “rabbit hole”.Im taking the deep dive into the conspiracy theme genre. A number of recent conspiracies suggest that celebrities are being "Replace" Repackaged" and "Remade".   Here is an AI Overview: AI Overview The idea that celebrities are recycled, cloned, or repackaged is a popular internet conspiracy theory, but Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse are two completely different people who lived separate lives.   Lady Gaga The Rumor:Lady Gaga was deeply inspired by Winehouse, which led to occasional visual comparisons, but they are not the same person.Other famous examples of internet "cloning or replacement" conspiracy theories include:   Avril Lavigne The Rumor:   Theorists claim Avril Lavigne died at the height of her early fame and was permanently replaced by a lookalike body double named Melissa Vandella to keep making money.   The Reality: Lavigne has repeatedly laughed off the internet myth, which originally started as a satirical joke on a Brazilian fan blog.   Paul McCartney The Rumor:   One of the oldest music myths claims the real Paul McCartney died in a severe car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named Billy Shears or "Faul" to protect The Beatles.   The Reality: McCartney is alive, active, and has openly mocked the rumor for decades—even naming his 1993 live album Paul Is Live as a direct poke at the conspiracy.   Jim Carrey The Rumor:   After a public appearance where his facial features and demeanor sparked online debate, viral posts claimed Jim Carrey had been swapped out for an impostor or clone.   The Reality: Carrey simply aged and changed his style, though he has humorously joked in past interviews about using decoys to confuse the paparazzi.   Several other high-profile celebrities have been the subjects of persistent internet conspiracy theories claiming they were "replaced," "cloned," or "repackaged" by record labels or secret organizations.             The most widely discussed examples of the "Celebrity Replacement" phenomenon include:   Kanye West   The "Replaced" Narrative:   A popular internet theory insists that Kanye West was taken by a shadow organization and replaced with a clone. Proponents of this theory frequently point to changes in his physical appearance, shifts in his height, and the alleged disappearance of certain tattoos over the years.   The Reality: The changes in his behavior, voice, and appearance are actually the result of normal aging, weight fluctuations, dental procedures, and his highly publicized struggles with mental health.   Eminem   The "Replaced" Narrative:   Theorists claim that Eminem died in a car crash or went into rehab in 2006, only for record executives to replace him with a synthetic clone to protect their profits. "Evidence" cited by internet sleuths includes changes in his jawline, a shift to a much lower, less aggressive vocal delivery, and the fact that he "doesn't blink enough" in modern interviews.   The Reality: Marshall Mathers did heavily step away from the spotlight around 2006 due to a severe prescription drug addiction. When he returned to public life sober, his hair color changed back to his natural dark hair, his style matured, and his music evolved—all natural parts of aging and entering a healthy recovery lifestyle.   Beyoncé   The "Replaced" Narrative:   A fringe theory argues that Beyoncé was cloned early in her career using her own stem cells, or that she was replaced by an Illuminati body double. Believers often scrutinize footage of her rocking back and forth at a basketball game as a "glitch," or claim subtle inconsistencies in her appearance during her pregnancies prove she was swapped out.   The Reality: Beyoncé has been one of the hardest-working performers in music for decades. The intense visual scrutiny she faces simply highlights how extreme fan observation can twist completely normal human movements, fatigue, or lighting changes into elaborate myths.   Bri

  Escape From Alcatraz w/ Ken Widner Mike Lynch & FBI Special Agent Stewart Fillmore Recorded 8/24/2026 17.06.2026 1h 24min

    Book Review: Alcatraz Escape by Ken Widner and Mike Lynch Alcatraz Escape examines one of the most enduring mysteries in American criminal history: the 1962 escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary by Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin. Authors Ken Widner and Mike Lynch explore the planning, execution, and aftermath of the escape, while also addressing the long-running debate over whether the men survived. Overview The book reconstructs the events leading up to the escape, detailing how the inmates created dummy heads, widened ventilation openings, and built a makeshift raft from raincoats. Widner and Lynch combine historical records, investigative findings, and firsthand accounts to present a narrative that is both informative and suspenseful. Strengths Thorough Research: The authors draw on FBI files, prison records, and interviews, giving readers a detailed understanding of the case. Engaging Narrative: Although based on real events, the book reads with the pacing of a thriller. Balanced Discussion: Rather than presenting a single conclusion, the authors examine competing theories regarding the escapees' fate. Historical Context: The book provides insight into life inside Alcatraz and the broader criminal justice environment of the era. Weaknesses Readers looking for definitive proof about whether the escapees survived may be disappointed, as the mystery remains unresolved. Some sections devoted to investigative details can feel repetitive for readers primarily interested in the escape itself. Overall Assessment Alcatraz Escape is a compelling account of one of America's most famous prison breaks. Its combination of meticulous research and accessible storytelling makes it appealing to true-crime enthusiasts, history readers, and anyone fascinated by unsolved mysteries. The book succeeds in presenting the facts while preserving the intrigue that has kept the Alcatraz escape alive in the public imagination for decades.
